GEORGE HEYLMAN, or NORTH SAN DIEGO, oALIro'RNiA.

AE I L O 1 names.

I '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE 'I-I 'Y MAN, a-

citizen of the United States, residing at North San Diego, in the (county of San Diego and State ofv California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aerial Toys, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention comprehends certain new and useful improvements in toys of the aerial projectile type, and the invention has for its primary object a simple ancLeflicient construction of device of this character which will tend to afford considerable amusement, which will be cheap to manufacture and which will not be liable to get out of order. l

With this and other objects in View, as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists essentially in a toy embodying a glider; a revoluble holder on which the glider is adapted to detachably rest, a casing in which the shaft of the revoluble holder is journaled, a centrifugal blower mounted in said casin and embodying any desired number of lades or vanes connected to said shaft. and a blow tube connected at one end to the casing and opening into. the same in substantially tangential relation thereto, whereby when a person blows through the tube, the air currents will cause the blowerto revolve and effect the rotation of the holder with the glider detachably mounted thereon, the glider being so constructed that when sufficient velocity has been attained, it will tend to rise and spin through the air. And the invention also aims to generally improve this'class of-devices and to render them more useful and commercially desirable.

With these and otherobjects in view, as

will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certainconstructio-ns, arrangements and combinations of thejparts that I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.

For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing in which,

Figure l is a view illustratin the appliig. 2 is a partial plan anda partial section of thedevice. ig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 33,of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail Specification of Letters Intent. Patented Applicatipn fll ed March 11, 1912. Serial No. 683,133.

perspective view of the glider employed,

and, Fig. 5 is a side elevatlon of thecasing. Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the accompanying drawing by like reference characters.

My improved amusement device or toy comprises a preferably cylindrical casing l to which is connected a substantially tangentially disposed tube 2 serving as a handle for the casing and as ablow pipe leading .thereinto. Centrally journaled in the cas ing 1 is a shaft 3, to which is connected any .desired number of curved blades 4,"

whereby when a person blows into'the tube 2, the blower composed of the blades 4 and shaft 3 will be caused to rapidly revolve.

Secured to one end of the shaft 3, .on the exterior of the casing l, is a bar 5 formed with any desired number of relatively short pegs 6, there being preferably three pegs,- one of which is constituted by the end of the shaft itself.

In connection with the parts thus far described, I employ a glider in the form of a plate' 7 which is preferably: curved and widened at its ends, as indicated at 8, the opposite corners of the ends being bowed and turned down, as indicated at 9. The plate 7 is formed with apertures 10 extending therethrough and of a size and spaced July'23,1912.

relation to enable the glider to be fitted I down over the peg 6 upon the bar 5.

From the foregoing description in connec- .tion' with the accompanylng drawing, the operation of my improved toy will be apparent. In the practical use of the device,

the glider 7 is placed on the end of the shaft 3, the end apertures 10 positioning the glider on the bar 5 by ing slipped over the two end pegs 6 and he operator will hold the device with the bar ,5 uppermost and blow sharply into the tube or mouth piece 2, whereupon the shaft 3 will be caused to rapidly rotate, and .when sufiicieiit velocity has been reached, the glider 7 will 1 be castupwardly int-o the air and will have a tendency to spin and move in the path indicated by the dotted line in Fig. 1.

The casing l is formed at one side with an outlet opening 11, which is arranged substantially at a point diametrically opposite to the inlet of the blower 'pipe, whereby the air may easily escape and thus tend to increase the speed of the blower. I

While the accompanyingdrawing illustrates what I believe to be the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but that various changes may be made in the construction, arrangement and propor tions of the parts without departing fromthe scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claim.

What I claim is z- As a new article of manufacture, the herein described toy, embodyim a cylindrical casing, a shaft journaled. therein and extending therethrough, radially projecting blades secured to said shaft and mounted I within the casing, a blower pipe connected to the casing in eccentric relation to one side.

fthereof and communicating with the interiot-of the casin said casing being provided with an out et opening at a point diametrically opposite the inlet of the blower pipe, a bar secured to one end of the shaft and provided with positioning pegs arranged upon each side of the upper end of the shaft at diametrically opposite points, and a glider in the form of an elongated plate with turned down ends, said glider being formed with an intermediate aperture adapted tohe slipped over one end of the shaft and diametrically opposite the posi tioning aperture to receive the positioning pegs carried by the bar.

In testimony whereof I' hereunto aifix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
